'Future of DACA depends on this next presidency', says Eiza Gonzalez

Model and actress Eiza Gonzalez requested her fans to go out and vote in the US elections. In her Instagram post on Wednesday, she highlighted the importance of the role of the upcoming leadership of the country for the minorities.

She started her post, stressing on the note that the future of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) depends on this next presidency. “I cant stress enough how key will the next leadership be for the silent and unheard minorities who ARE part of this country and are crucial to the economy.”

Gonzalez has been actively communicating with her 6.2 million fans and followers on Instagram and urging them to use their right to vote for the upcoming elections.

She continued, “Just wanted to remind people the importance of your vote and how we are in a moment in time that, if you are fortunate enough to be the 1% of people not struggling in this country. (The most affected have been the minorities) to think of your vote as an act of solidarity. Let’s give back to our community after it’s been stripped from some much this year.”

The Baby Driver actress concluded her post on the note, urging people that how their vote will make a difference and bring unity in the society. “Think of your children and the younger generations. The example they’re seeing today will be what will define the future of this country and the world. Let’s find inspirational leaders that guide with conviction and integrity. And most importantly in a time of division and exacerbation let’s think as a whole and less as a war within society. Let’s communicate with respect and be heard to collectively move forward for a better future for all as a progressive society. #GOVOTE #PROUDIMMIGRANT.”

Gonzalez, 30, is one of nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants in the US who are protected from deportation as part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA).

DACA recipients can live and work in the US But because they are not citizens, they are not eligible to vote. President Trump’s administration has repeatedly tried to roll the DACA program back.
